“Fresh air ventilation would allow hot air to come into vehicle when opened. Dealer contacted. The consumer states that there is warm air coming from every vent of the vehicle, immediately after the engine warmed up and air gets hot as the engine approaching normal operating temperature. The recirculating air and fresh air vent control have no control. The consumer feels that there is a design problem.”
